New Prices for Volkswagen Cars With the New SST Tax Structure Announced - Lower Prices for CKD Cars, Slightly Up for CBU ....


Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia (VPCM) have announced the revised prices of all Volkswagen models under the Sales and Service Tax (SST) structure which came into effect on the 1 st of September 2018. It would seem that the new prices of Volkswagen cars are now lower than previous prices with 6% GST if you want a locally assembled (CKD) Volkswagen. Prices for fully imported (CBU) models are slightly higher.


However, the good news is that if you still want to place a booking for a Volkswagen now, you can take advantage of the VPCM Price Protection Scheme (PPS). This is basically VPCM absorbing all SST if your Volkswagen is registered by the 15th of November 2018. The scheme is still applicable for all models registered by the 15 th of November 2018 and while stocks last. 

According to VPCM, since the introduction of the PPS, VPCM has seen a rise in demand for Volkswagen models. While VPCM is doing its best to meet the demand, stocks are very limited and customers are urged to not delay placing their bookings

Here is a schedule on prices of the locally assembled models (GST and new SST) and total savings under the PPS:



Here is the prices of imported models in comparison together with the total savings absorbed by VPCM if you opt for PPS:


It would seem that you will save quite a fair bit if you really want that imported Volkswagen model...

Erik Winter, Managing Director of VPCM explains a bit more on the new pricing system, “In line with the Government’s initiative, we are very pleased that the new tax structure has allowed us to be more competitive with our prices. With the new tax structure, the reduction of Volkswagen prices ranges from 1.5% (for the Tiguan Comfortline) to 2.6% (for the Vento Highline) compared against the previous tax structure with GST. We believe that the new prices, as well as our recently-introduced Price Protection Scheme makes owning a Volkswagen even more attractive to Malaysians.”

“As for aftersales service, the prices are determined by the service tax rate, and customers can download the revised service pricing guide on the Volkswagen website,” he added with regards to after sales for Volkswagen cars serviced at authorised centres.

Do take note that all Volkswagen models come with 3-years free maintenance, 5-years manufacturer’s warranty and 5-years roadside assistance.
